Excellent lesson with 陆老师! She did an outstanding job of organizing the class around the written materials she had prepared, but structuring the lesson in a way that was engaging and conversational. I was also impressed by her ability to break down and explain difficult phrases without resorting to English. It gave me a lot of confidence to have a lesson 100% in Chinese. I'm already looking forward to our next lesson!

I’m learning a lot and motivated to study outside of lessons. Dora is always prepared with a lesson and structured activities.

I am learning so much and motivated to study between lessons. The classes are structured well with vocabulary, grammar and both speaking and reading practice. I appreciate having my homework reviewed. Amazing instructor and class.
